Lime Acres - Whitehouse

The villa is about 1 mile to the new Sandals Whitehouse resort. Built in the 1920s as the residence of a lime plantation owner the villa sits on approximately 4 acres of land, filled with mangoes and other fruit trees.

The design makes extensive use of Jamaican mahogany and other tropical hardwoods incorporated into beamed ceilings and built-in closets. Many of the furnishings are original to the house, or beautifully crafted reproductions. Lime Acre is approximately 11/2 hours from the Montego Bay airport and about 1 hour from Negril.

The main house consists of 3 upstairs bedrooms; two of which have magnificent views of the sea and open to a verandah with views of the sea and gardens; the third bedroom has an adjoining sitting area overlooking the pool and sea. The ground floor has a spacious living/dining room with beamed ceilings, a den with TV and a wrap-around verandah for sitting and dining, and a terrace overlooking the pool.

The cottage has two bedrooms with one full bathroom, and a porch with sea and garden views. Outdoors the villa is surrounded by gardens and rolling lawns overlooking the sea. Next to the beach is a small, shady terrace with tables for relaxing or dining, and a jetty.

Lime Acre has a full staff of 4, comprised of butler, cook, housekeeper/laundress and gardener.
